Are You Feeling the Pressure of Your New Year's Resolutions?

As we enter into a new year, so many of us feel compelled to make new goals for ourselves. We set the intention to be different, make more money, lose weight, and put such intense pressure on ourselves to ‘be someone else’. How many times have we looked back and realized none of our intentions from last year were fulfilled? It’s time to take a pause.    It is important to take a moment to reflect and really take a moment to examine how we want to show up differently, and what were some of the setbacks we had along the way. Some great reflection questions could be: What was the most memorable moment you had in this past year? What experiences did you have? Why were they important? What were some of your feelings and emotions you experienced during this time?    There are some patterns that might start to arise in your reflection process, so it’s important to make a note of what those are. Our experiences, and what we deem to be important, are subtle mirrors into our values. Are we honoring those values throughout the year or are we only lightly touching on them?    When life gets challenging, it’s important to lean into your values and see how you can lead with them instead of weakening or injuring them. This year will have its ups and downs, so use this time to strengthen yourself and dive deep into yourself to reaffirm what truly makes you unique, special, and powerful.    Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
